<p>The Accommodation</p><p>The ground floor of Rusper is a masterclass in modern lateral living, where traditional proportions meet a sleek, contemporary aesthetic. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a light-filled and spacious entrance hall with a striking glass-balustrade staircase that sets a sophisticated tone for the home. To the front, a dedicated study offers a quiet, professional environment for home working along with a guest cloakroom.</p><p>The heart of the home is undoubtedly the magnificent open-plan kitchen/dining/living area. This expansive triple-aspect space features a bespoke navy-blue shaker-style kitchen, anchored by a large central island with quartz worktops. High-end integrated appliances and a classic brick-slip splashback add texture and character, while a full wall of bi-folding doors opens the space entirely to the rear terrace, offering uninterrupted views over the rolling Essex countryside. The Sitting Room is a vast reception space, complete with a unique curved "gallery" walkway.</p><p>This architectural walkway, lined with floor-to-ceiling windows, leads through to an exceptional leisure wing that redefines home entertaining. At its center is the indoor swimming pool, featuring a striking timber-trussed vaulted ceiling. Adjoining this is the spectacular orangery, a vaulted entertaining room bathed in natural light via a massive glass lantern roof. This space currently serves as a grand games room and lounge, opening directly onto the gardens through multiple sets of bi-folding doors. The ground floor is completed by high-specification supporting facilities, including a dedicated changing room, a shower room with rainfall fittings, and internal access to the double garage and pump room. </p><p>The upper floors continue the theme of expansive light and high-specification finishes, offering a thoughtfully arranged collection of bedrooms that cater to both family life and long-term guests. Ascending from the entrance hall, the first-floor landing provides access to three generous double bedrooms and the principal suite. The principal bedroom, is a particular highlight, enjoying a dual aspect with elevated views over the surrounding landscape, a dedicated dressing area, and a luxurious en-suite shower room. The remaining three bedrooms on this level are well-served by a family bathroom and an additional en-suite, ensuring privacy and convenience.</p><p>The second floor offers a further sense of retreat, housing two exceptionally large bedrooms that take full advantage of the home's striking roofline. One features a private balcony overlooking the gardens and the countryside beyond. These rooms share a modern shower room and benefit from ample eaves storage, making this floor ideal for older children or as a secluded guest floor. </p><p>Outside</p><p>Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Essex countryside, the exterior of this property seamlessly blends traditional rural charm with modern functionality across approximately 0.59 of an acre. A sweeping gravel driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles, leading to a double garage equipped with an up-and-over door, power, lighting, and internal access to the swimming pool pump room. </p><p>Adding significant versatility to the estate, an external staircase leads to a self-contained annexe above the garage, featuring an open-plan kitchen/sitting room, a private bedroom, and a shower room.</p><p>The meticulously landscaped gardens are primarily laid to lawn, accented by mature planting. Designed for the modern entertainer, the grounds boast numerous terraces and slate-tiled seating areas that transition into far-reaching pastoral vistas, all anchored by the main residence's striking architecture and its proximity to the historic village church.</p>
